Why does one have to get IJN Yamato to have it accepted - when IJN is not an official title - but Belfast and Constitution are OK without the USS and HMS? Nimitz is not the largest class of warships built - that would probably be Fletcher or a WW2 escort class - although it may be the class of largest warships built....

Just Yamato should work now. hanks for pointing this out.

As for the largest class of warships ever built, that means by size rather than by numbers.
